Maybe factor in the money trail also. Vegas makes money when n we lose so look at which side the money is on and maybe look to the other side.

I am a big believer of trneds..when a team and it's players are playing wel..they should be backed esp vs a team gong in the wrong direction. Also, the better and hyped teams will often be overbet..like for ex carpentar in St lousi..Phillies/Yanks

The Umpires calling the game , the park being played at ( hitters park like texas, pitchers park like petco,etc) even the weather report for the day, sticky humid day games, wrigley winds, turf games, etc. all play a part of baseball handicapping for me, and not only in determining totals.

In baseball, trends or how a team has been doing over the last 5 games or so certainly comes into it more than most sports. Umpires seem to really influence a game more so than most officials in any other sport, a umpire with a small strike zone can pretty much make any numbers on ERA as less a factor.

WHIP obviously , and I know alot of people like to look at certain angles like a left hander stats against certain teams that have trouble hitting lefties .

I really hope someone starts a thread in sbr baseball section like pops has at the rx on umpire info,weather,etc. He usually has an excel sheet with all the info and you do with it what you want. It is a huge help in handicapping baseball, totals especially.
